S7 Airlines (in the recent past - the airline "Siberia") - one of the leading air carriers in our country. If you purchased a ticket for flight S7, you should familiarize yourself with the baggage allowance in advance so that there will be no misunderstandings during the registration.

General information about the company

S7 is based at two airports: Tolmachevo (Novosibirsk) and Domodedovo (Moscow).

The carrier is developing, its route network is growing, Russian airports are opening more and more branches. The company carries out air transportation throughout Russia, as well as to European countries, Middle East and Asian regions.

Aircraft S7 belong to the most famous in the aviation industry manufacturers - Airbus and Boeing.

The air carrier has a rather flexible tariff system and is almost always ready to offer passengers special attractive ticket prices. Sales and promotions are always held. There is a program to encourage regular passengers "S7 Priority", which involves the accumulation of flight miles. There is also the possibility to pay for airplane miles and additional services.

Rates

Not so long ago, the airline S7 switched to a new tariff system called SmartChoic. There were tickets irrevocable and "bagless".

Now there are 4 tariffs:

• Economic "Basic" - irrecoverable, luggage and choice of location - paid services.
• Economic "Flexible" - returnable, free baggage and choice of location.
• Business "Basic" - non-returnable, free luggage and a choice of a place, the paid invitation in a waiting room of the raised comfort.
• Business "Flexible" - returnable, free luggage and a choice of a place, the free invitation in a waiting room of the raised comfort.

Rules for the carriage of cabin cabingage

For all air passengers, depending on the class of service, the rules for the carriage of cabin baggage are established.

For air passengers flying in the "economic" class

S7, baggage allowance - one seat weighing up to 10 kg. For air passengers traveling in the "business" class - two baggage seats with a total mass of not more than 15 kg by the amount. For the dimensions of the cabin baggage, the established rate is 55/40/20 cm.

It is worth noting that hand luggage and luggage are not added up, that is, it can be carried to the available luggage in addition.

Baggage Regulations

Depending on the fare of the S7 ticket, the baggage allowance varies. Economic "Basic" does not provide free baggage, while "Flexible" assumes a single baggage seat with a mass of not more than 23 kg. For air passengers departing according to the "basic" tariff for the business class, one baggage seat can be carried up to 32 kg, and by "flexible" - two as much.

For transportation, baggage spaces with dimensions not exceeding 2,03 m are allowed on the sum of three measurements.

For regular customers of the airline S7, the baggage allowance is higher than for ordinary passengers. So, for example, holders of Silver and Gold status cards can carry one extra seat with a mass not exceeding 23 kg. A card with Premium status entitles you to carry extra baggage up to 32 kg.

All baggage seats are issued for each air passenger individually. The rules of the airline permit to combine the free rate of transportation to several passengers at the same time when they fly to the same point together. However, it is necessary to prove this fact documented, that is, to provide air tickets and passports.

Excess baggage allowance

If the passenger's baggage exceeds the established free transportation norms by weight and quantity, it is necessary to make a surcharge.

S7 Airlines has established the following tariffs for excess baggage:

• An additional second baggage seat with a mass not exceeding 23 kg and less than 2.03 m in three dimensions - 50 euros.
• An additional third and next luggage space, not exceeding 23 kg and 2,03 in three dimensions - 150 euros.
• Excess weight of baggage in the range 23-32 kg with total dimensions not exceeding 2,03 m - 50 euros.
• Excess weight of baggage from 32 kg, while the sum of dimensions is less than 2.03 m - 100 euros.
• Exceeding the established dimensions of luggage (more than 2,03 m) - 150 euros.

If the weight of the luggage space is in the range of 32-50 kg, its transportation must be agreed in time with the airline. Accepted for transportation of such heavy luggage or not - is directly related to the type of airliner claimed and the size of the luggage compartment. Prior to the planned trip, you need to send an appropriate request to the airline through the "Feedback" section on the site or call the call center.

Every air carrier, including company S7, has a baggage allowance and fares for excess baggage. The clarification of these rules should be dealt with in a timely manner a few days before the planned trip, and even better - when buying an air ticket, in order to avoid unpleasant situations when going through check-in at the departure airport and unplanned expenses.
